Hi, I'm Karen. For 20 years I've had the privilege of providing counselling services to women throughout the many phases of their mothering journey from the early perinatal period through to the toddler and early childhood years, school age, pre-teen and teenage stages as well as the adjustments to being a parent of young and older adult children.
I offer a kind and collaborative approach, taking your lead in setting the goals and pace for our work together. I have confidence that therapy can help ease the impact of the many challenges that comes with motherhood and can help bring more joy and calm to these mothering years.
I'm a Registered Social Worker with a Clinical Specialization in good standing with the Alberta College of Social Work. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Saskatchewan and my Bachelor of Social Work and Masters of Social Work degrees from the University of Calgary.
I have specialized training in Perinatal and Maternal Mental Health, EMDR for trauma, CBT for anxiety and mood changes, grief counselling and developmental and attachment-based models for parenting and relationship issues.
On a personal note, I'm a mama of two fabulous daughters and have been married for over 15 years. I also recently became a first-time dog-mama which has been both exciting and daunting! I was born and raised on the prairies and feel at my best when I get outside into open spaces!
